CPM - An Overview
CPM is used to develop Control Panel Applications for vision inspection programs. A Control Panel Appli-
cation is a collection of Control Panels. The panels contain controls that exchange data with vision inspec-
tion programs running on the Impact device. Controls display data on the client computer’s monitor for the
Control Panel operator to see, and they can provide operator control over the inspection.The vision program
you want to control must be loaded on the currently connected Impact device.
Data exchange can be initiated manually (by an operator pressing a button, for example), at a specified time
interval, or by another control changing state (an alarm state, for example). Multiple Control Panels can be
combined into one Control Panel file.
